Order and build slot has been confirmed with October delivery - So time to park the interest and simply enjoy the R - worse things

Nice review, and though he may personally want more, the TCR hits my personal sweet spot with its all around lifts that do not spill over into the excessive.
 
His comments and general enthusiasm while driving and the noises (have read there is no soundaktor?) the TCR was making throughout the video were good to see, and his comments on the ride were reassuring - now made the choice, quite excited to be scratching the heritage itch and getting into my first GTI

Needed to test on the reifinitz wheels, as that has the adaptive , sports, suspension and the minor lift in BHP by the vmax being removed so not really a fair contest with the Type R

You can spec DCC separately, you don’t have to spec the 19’s to get it.

There’s at least two UK press TCR’s on the standard 18’s with DCC added.

Ha- Type R is cheaper than a standard TCR, let alone one that is optioned beyond standard spec on the Honda.

I appreciate the aesthetics of the Type R are "challenging", but you have to admit it is a formidable car for the money.

I would like to have seen a PP 245 Vs TCR ?

Looking at these reviews I’m becoming increasingly convinced that the tcr will be around in some form in the Mk8. Perhaps as Autocar (I think) suggested that it’s like a gti pp plus and that is meant as a compliment. As I said a while ago it feels like a trim level and not like the special editions.

It’ll be great. Also good to see that ride isn’t an issue despite all those early reviews! Looking forward to seeing some on the road soon.

^^^ The Pirelli edition is mentioned in the Edition 30 write up.

Guilt of skimming and looking at the pictures on my phone when I posted that.

I'd like to see a real world spec / price comparison in these shoot outs. Almost all of the reviews tend to focus on MSRP (worst case) but when they talk about a value proposition, it makes a difference when you take 15% off the MSRP.
